Female-male sex: Salted fish forced to rise to prominence

The two of them came out of the hot spring pool together. Just as they reached the corridor, Manager Zhuang ran up to them and said, "Sir, where do you want to go? I will take you there."

Su Yu looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, who was about forty years old, slightly fat, and had an ordinary face. He said: "Let's go to the orchard and pick some fresh fruits to take home."

Manager Zhuang smiled and said, "It would be a good idea for you to go and have a look, sir. There are a lot of fruits this year, including peaches, dates, and pomegranates. It looks very festive."

When Su Yu just arrived at the hot spring villa today, the villa manager came up to him and introduced himself. He was the villa manager of Murong's family, the former assistant minister of the Ministry of War. His name was Zhuang Huai. Mrs. Murong had specifically instructed him to stay here and wait for her.

If Su Yu was willing to keep him, she would accept his indenture contract. If not, she would let him take his indenture contract back home by himself. Su Yu would certainly not refuse Mrs. Murong's kindness and directly accepted his indenture contract. After all, it was hard to find a good manager.

In addition to the manager of the farm, the Murong family also kept more than a dozen maids and servants for him to serve. He collected the indentures neatly and kept praising them in his heart. Mrs. Murong was also very generous.

This hot spring village covers an area of about 2,000 acres. In addition to the exquisitely built pavilions and towers, there are also fish ponds, fertile fields, orchards, and horse farms. They walked for a long time before they reached the orchard.

Su Yu stepped into the garden and took a stroll. In addition to the peaches he had just eaten, there were also persimmon trees and pear trees full of fruits.

Su Yu ordered, "Xie An, pick more of these fruits and send some to the teacher, Miss Qin, and Luo Chu's family..."

Su Yu said a long list of names, and then he realized that in this ancient time, he seemed to know quite a lot of people.

Xie An remembered them one by one and responded, "Yes, master."

Manager Zhuang looked at the red persimmon trees and sighed, "What a pity for these persimmons. We can't eat many every year, and even if we pick them, they won't be kept for a few days."

The Murong Mansion wastes a lot of persimmons every year, but this is a small matter for Su Yu. He knows how to make persimmons into persimmon cakes for storage.

So he said: "Then please trouble Manager Zhuang to pick all these persimmons. I will teach you a method...," Su Yu then explained the general method of making persimmon cakes. Do you understand?"

After hearing this, Manager Zhuang nodded happily and said, "I understand, sir."

He didn't expect that his new master actually knew how to preserve these foods.

Su Yu added: "When the persimmon cakes are ready, you send one to Murong Mansion, another to Jiang Mansion of the Ministry of Revenue, and the rest to Su Mansion in Taohua Lane."

Manager Zhuang was secretly shocked. He didn't expect that his new master could not only get such a big manor as the Murong family, but also get close to the Jiang family, the Minister of Revenue. He had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but he replied calmly, "Yes, sir", but his expression was even more respectful to Su Yu.

Su Yu continued walking forward and found that there were some mulberry trees in the orchard, but it was a pity that it was not the season to eat them.

Su Yu was planning to leave, but in a corner of the orchard, he found a soapberry tree. The tree was three meters tall and could be said to be a towering tree.

He stared at the fruit with shining eyes. Soapberry is a good thing. The pulp of soapberry contains tea polyphenols, which can foam and has strong cleaning ability. It can be used to make shampoo and hand soap.

Su Yu quickly ordered, "Manager Zhuang, call some people and have them pick all the fruits on this tree."

Manager Zhuang looked anxious and said, "Sir, this fruit cannot be eaten."

This tree is wild and quite old. It was there when the village was built. We didn't cut it down because it looked very lively.

Su Yu smiled and said: "Don't worry, Manager Zhuang, I don't want to eat it, I just have other uses for it."

Then, Su Yu took out a few packets of chili seeds from his sleeve, "This is called chili. Plant it on the farm first. When it bears red fruits, send them to this young master's house. If there are too many to eat, wait for it to mature and save the seeds, and then plant it on a large scale. Do you understand?"

Manager Zhuang bowed and said, "Yes, sir."

After arranging things, Su Yu went directly to the study on the farm. The study was decorated very nicely, with pens, ink, paper, inkstone, tables, chairs, and paintings, and even a lot of books on the shelves.

Su Yu planned to start teaching Xie An new accounting methods now, including single-entry and double-entry bookkeeping methods, as well as Arabic numerals.

"Xie An, grind the ink."

"Yes, master."

Su Yu casually took a piece of rice paper and spread it flat on the table. He picked up the brush, dipped it lightly in ink and began to write numbers from one to ten. He said to Xie An: "Move a stool over and sit next to me."

"Yes".

After Xie An sat down, Su Yu pointed at the words on the table and said, "Today I will start teaching you a new way of accounting. This is called Arabic numerals. You can learn from me first..."

Xie An responded “yes” seriously.

Su Yu roughly explained to him the meaning of these characters. After Xie An accepted them, he wrote the numbers from eleven to fifty, slowly and patiently teaching him one character at a time.

Fortunately, Xie An had a quick learning ability. In just one stick of incense, he finished teaching all the numbers within 100 and how to write them. Su Yu nodded in satisfaction. This student was not bad.

Then, Su Yu demonstrated to him again, using Arabic numerals instead of ordinary words to write a diary.

Su Yu said: "Using this kind of digital accounting, the numbers are extremely clear, it is very convenient to record income and expenditure, and it can quickly and easily record the daily account."

Su Yu turned her head to look at him, "Do you understand?"

Xie An nodded and said, "I understand, master."

At the same time, he was secretly shocked that his master actually knew how to do business and keep accounts, and knew such a convenient way of keeping accounts. His family was a wealthy businessman in Jiangnan, so he could better understand the convenience of the accounting taught by his master, and the ease of checking accounts, so he was even more amazed at this new way of keeping accounts.

The space puppet suddenly spoke, "Ding Dong, faith increased by five, the current faith value is twenty-five."

Su Yu ignored all this and continued teaching. Seeing that Xie An was learning quickly, he also mentioned double-entry bookkeeping, "There is another type of double-entry bookkeeping. Bookkeeping must follow this rule: there must be a debit for every credit, and the debits and credits must be equal..."

Seeing that he didn't understand, Su Yu drew a simple T-shaped template of borrowing and lending for him to help him understand it more quickly, and then explained the meaning of equal borrowing and lending that he had just said.

Su Yu pointed at the draft with her slender fingers and said, "The advantage of using this double-entry bookkeeping method is that it is easy to calculate the profit and loss of each account, and the effect is clear at a glance because there will be a balance for each account."

What Su Yu said was actually very clear, but there were too many knowledge points, so it still takes some time to accept.

Su Yu felt that he had learned enough today. Even if he taught him more, he would not be able to absorb it all at once. So he said, "Let's learn this much today. Think about it more when you have time. Ask me if you don't understand."

Xie An held the straw paper in his hand and replied: "Yes, master."

Afterwards, the two of them left the study together, and Butler Zhuang was already waiting outside the study.

As soon as he saw Su Yu, he hurried to greet him and said respectfully: "Young Master, all the fruits have been picked and placed on the carriage, the pepper seeds have been planted in the soil, and the persimmon cakes have been made. I also sent someone to load some vegetables produced in the farm into the carriage."

In fact, he had been standing outside for a long time and heard Su Yu patiently teaching the servant how to keep accounts. However, his eyes became brighter as he listened. He was glad to have such a master.

He was sent to the manor as a manager. He was not particularly valued in the Murong family. However, his current master was a good master who could train his subordinates, so he would also have the opportunity to be trained by his master. For a moment, he looked at Su Yu with admiration.

"Ding Dong, faith increased by five, the current faith value is thirty."

The voice of the space puppet came out again. Su Yu looked at the sudden increase in faith value, and then looked at the housekeeper Zhuang who was looking at him with shining eyes in front of him, and he understood instantly.

Su Yu was happy in his heart, and the smile on his face became even wider. "I am confident in your work, Steward Zhuang. You have done a great job. I will continue to let you manage this farm in the future."

Afterwards, Su Yu asked the steward of the manor for a lot of vegetable seeds, and then took Xie An to King Ye's manor and Qin Yuehua's manor to deliver some fruits and vegetables.
